You'll get a lot of nsca processes sitting around if you have a
large 'central server', as they will back up writing into the
nagios.cmd. They'll usually clear out every time Nagios comes
around and reads from the cmd since they are blocked on io. Make
sure Nagios is reading from the command file as fast as possible
by setting the cmd file interval to -1.

500 shouldn't cause cannot fork, there might be a ulimit causing
that.
